+.SH NAME
+masqmail.conf \- masqmail configuration file
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This man page describes the syntax of the main configuration file of masqmail.
+Its usual location is \fI/etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf\fR
+The configuration consists of lines of the form
+\fBval\fR = \fIexpression\fR
+Where \fBval\fR is a variable name and \fIexpression\fR a string,
+which can be quoted with double quotes `"'.
+If the expression is on multiple lines or contains characters other than letters,
+digits or the characters `.', `-', `_', `/', it must be quoted.
+You can use quotes inside quotes by escaping them with a backslash.
+Each val has a type, which can be boolean, numeric, string or list.
+A boolean variable can be set with one of the values `on', `yes', and `true' or `off', `no' and `false'.
+List items are separated with semicolons `;'.
+For some values patterns (like `*',`?') can be used.
+The spaces before and after the equal sign `=' are optional.
+Most lists (exceptions: \fBlocal_hosts\fR, \fBlocal_nets\fR, \fBlisten_addresses\fR,
+\fBonline_routes\fR, and \fBonline_gets\fR) accept files.
+These will be recognized by a leading slash `/'.
+The contents of these files will be included at the position of the file name,
+there can be items or other files before and after the file entry.
+The format of the files is different though, within these files each entry is on another line.
+(And not separated by semicolons).
+This makes it easy to include large lists which are common in different configuration files,
+so they do not have to appear in every configuration file.
+Blank lines and lines starting with a hash `#' are ignored.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fBrun_as_user = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, masqmail runs with the user id of the user who invoked it and never changes it.
+This is for debugging purposes only.
+If the user is not root, masqmail will not be able to listen on a port < 1024
+and will not be able to deliver local mail to others than the user.
+.TP
+\fBuse_syslog = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, masqmail uses syslogd for logging.
+It uses facility MAIL.
+You still have to set \fBlog_dir\fR for debug files.
+.TP
+\fBdebug_level = \fIn\fR
+Set the debug level.
+Valid values are 0 to 6, increasing it further makes no difference.
+Be careful if you set this as high as 5 or higher, the logs may very soon fill your hard drive.
+.TP
+\fBlog_dir = \fIfile\fR
+The directory where log are stored, if syslog is not used.
+Debug files are stored in this directory anyways.
+\fI/var/log/masqmail\fR is a common value.
+\fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
+.TP
+\fBmail_dir = \fIfile\fR
+The directory where local mail is stored, usually \fI/var/spool/mail\fR or \fI/var/mail\fR.
+\fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
+.TP
+\fBspool_dir = \fIfile\fR
+The directory where masqmail stores its spool files (and later also other stuff).
+It must have a subdirectory \fIinput\fR.
+Masqmail needs read and write permissions for this directory.
+I suggest to use \fI/var/spool/masqmail\fR.
+\fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
+.TP
+\fBhost_name = \fIstring\fR
+This is used in different places: Masqmail identifies itself in the greeting banner
+on incoming connections and in the HELO/EHLO command for outgoing connections with this name,
+it is used in the Received: header and to qualify the sender of a locally originating message.
+If the string begins with a slash `/', it it assumed that it is a filename,
+and the first line of this file will be used.
+Usually this will be `/etc/mailname' to make masqmail conform to Debian policies.
+It is not used to find whether an address is local. Use \fBlocal_hosts\fR for that.
+.TP
+\fBremote_port = \fIn\fR
+The remote port number to be used. This defaults to port 25.
+This option is deprecated.
+Use \fBhost_name\fR in the route configuration instead.
+See \fBmasqmail.route(5)\fR.
+.TP
+\fBlocal_hosts = \fIlist\fR
+A semicolon `;' separated list of hostnames which are considered local.
+Normally you set it to "localhost;foo;foo.bar.com" if your host has the
+fully qualified domain name `foo.bar.com'.
+.TP
+\fBlocal_nets = \fIlist\fR
+A semicolon `;' separated list of hostnames which are on the `local' net.
+Delivery to these hosts is attempted immediately.
+You can use patterns with `*', e.g. "*.bar.com".
+.TP
+\fBlocal_addresses = \fIlist\fR
+A semicolon `;' separated list of fully qualified email-addresses which are
+considered local although their domain name part is not in the list of \fBlocal_hosts\fR.
+For example: There are two people working at your LAN: person1@yourdomain and person2@yourdomain.
+But there are other persons @yourdomain which are NOT local.
+So you can not put yourdomain to the list of local_hosts.
+If person1 now wants to write to person2@yourdomain and this mail should not leave the LAN then you can put
+local_addresses = "person1@yourdomain;person2@yourdomain"
+to your masqmail.conf.
+.TP
+\fBnot_local_addresses = \fIlist\fR
+A semicolon `;' separated list of fully qualified email-addresses which are
+considered not local although their domain name part is in the list of \fBlocal_hosts\fR.
+This is the opposite of the previous case.
+The majority of addresses of a specific domain are local.
+But some users are not.
+With this option you can easily exclude these users.
+Example:
+local_hosts = "localhost;myhost;mydomain.net"
+not_local_addresses = "eric@mydomain.net"
+.TP
+\fBlisten_addresses = \fIlist\fR
+A semicolon `;' separated list of interfaces on which connections will be accepted.
+An interface ist defined by a hostname, optionally followed by a colon `:' and a number for the port.
+If this is left out, port 25 will be used.
+You can set this to "localhost:25;foo:25" if your hostname is `foo'.
+Note that the names are resolved to IP addreses.
+If your host has different names which resolve to the same IP,
+use only one of them, otherwise you will get an error message.
+.TP
+\fBdo_save_envelope_to = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set to true, a possibly existing Envelope-to: header in an incoming mail
+which is received via either pop3 or smtp will be saved as an X-Orig-Envelope-to: header.
+This is useful if you retrieve mail from a pop3 server with either masqmail or fetchmail,
+and the server supports Envelope-to: headers,
+and you want to make use of those with a mail filtering tool, e.g. procmail.
+It cannot be preserved because masqmail sets such a header by itself.
+Default is false.
+.TP
+\fBdo_relay = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set to false, mail with a return path that is not local and a destination
+that is also not local will not be accepted via smtp and a 550 reply will be given.
+Default is true.
+Note that this will not protect you from spammers using open relays,
+but from users unable to set their address in their mail clients.
+.TP
+\fBdo_queue = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, mail will not be delivered immediately when accepted.
+Same as calling masqmail with the \fB\-odq\fR option.
+.TP
+\fBonline_routes.\fIname\fR = \fIlist\fR
+Replace \fIname\fR with a name to identify a connection.
+Set this to a filename (or a list of filenames) for the special route configuration for that connection.
+You will use that name to call masqmail with the \fB\-qo\fR option every time a
+connection to your ISP is set up.
+Example: Your ISP has the name FastNet.
+Then you write the following line in the main configuration:
+\fBonline_routes.FastNet\fR = \fI"/etc/masqmail/fastnet.route"\fR
+\fI/etc/masqmail/fastnet.route\fR is the route configuration file, see \fBmasqmail.route(5)\fR.
+As soon as a link to FastNet has been set up, you call masqmail \fB\-qo \fIFastNet\fR.
+Masqmail will then read the specified file and send the mails.
+.TP
+\fBconnect_route.\fIname\fR = \fIlist\fR
+Old name for \fBonline_routes\fR.
+.TP
+\fBlocal_net_route = \fIfile\fR
+This is similar to \fBonline_routes.\fIname\fR but for the local net.
+Recipient addresses that are in local_nets will be routed using this route configuration.
+Main purpose is to define a mail server with mail_host in your local network.
+In simple environments this can be left unset.
+If unset, a default route configuration will be used.
+.TP
+\fBalias_file = \fIfile\fR
+Set this to the location of your alias file.
+If unset, no aliasing will be done.
+.TP
+\fBalias_local_caseless = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, local parts in the alias file will be matched disregarding upper/lower case.
+.TP
+\fBpipe_fromline = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever
+a pipe command is called after an alias expansion.
+Default is false.
+.TP
+\fBpipe_fromhack = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, each line beginning with `From ' is replaced with `>From '
+whenever a pipe command is called after an alias expansion.
+You probably want this if you have set \fBpipe_fromline\fR above.
+Default is false.
+.TP
+\fBmbox_default = \fIstring\fR
+The default local delivery method.
+Can be one of mbox, mda or maildir (the latter only if maildir support is enabled at compile time).
+Default is mbox.
+You can override this for each user by using the \fBmbox_users\fR, \fBmda_users\fR,
+or \fBmaildir_users\fR options (see below).
+.TP
+\fBmbox_users = \fIlist\fR
+A list of users which wish delivery to an mbox style mail folder.
+.TP
+\fBmda_users = \fIlist\fR
+A list of users which wish local delivery to an mda.
+You have to set \fBmda\fR (see below) as well.
+.TP
+\fBmaildir_users = \fIlist\fR
+A list of users which wish delivery to a qmail style maildir.
+The path to maildir is ~/Maildir/.
+The maildir will be created if it does not exist.
+.TP
+\fBmda = \fIexpand string\fR
+If you want local delivery to be transferred to an mda (Mail Delivery Agent),
+set this to a command.
+The argument will be expanded on delivery time,
+you can use variables beginning with a dolloar sign `$', optionally enclosed in curly braces.
+Variables you can use are:
+uid - the unique message id.
+This is not necessarily identical with the Message ID as given in the Message ID: header.
+received_host - the host the mail was received from
+ident - the ident, this is either the ident delivered by the ident protocol
+or the user id of the sender if the message was received locally.
+return_path_local - the local part of the return path (sender).
+return_path_domain - the domain part of the return path (sender).
+return_path - the complete return path (sender).
+rcpt_local - the local part of the recipient.
+rcpt_domain - the domain part of the recipient.
+rcpt - the complete recipient address.
+Example:
+mda="/usr/bin/procmail \-Y \-d ${rcpt_local}"
+For the mda, as for pipe commands, a few environment variables will be set as well.
+See \fBmasqmail(8)\fR.
+To use environment variables for the mda, the dollar sign `$' has to be escaped with a backslash,
+otherwise they will be tried to be expanded with the internal variables.
+.TP
+\fBmda_fromline = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever
+a message is delivered to an mda.
+Default is false.
+.TP
+\fBmda_fromhack = \fIboolean\fR
+If this is set, each line beginning with `From ' is replaced with `>From '
+whenever a message is delivered to an mda.
+You probably want this if you have set \fBmda_fromline\fR above.
+Default is false.
+.TP
+\fBonline_detect = \fIstring\fR
+Defines the method masqmail uses to detect whether there is currently an online connection.
+It can have the values \fBfile\fR, \fBpipe\fR, or \fBmserver\fR.
+When it is set to \fBfile\fR, masqmail first checks for the existence of \fBonline_file\fR
+(see below) and if it exists, it reads it.
+The content of the file should be the name of the current connection as defined
+with \fBconnect_route.\fIname\fR (trailing whitespace is removed).
+When it is set to \fBpipe\fR, masqmail calls the executable given by the
+\fBonline_pipe\fR option (see below) and reads the current online status from its standard output.
+When it is set to \fBmserver\fR, masqmail connects to the masqdialer server
+using the value of \fBmserver_iface\fR and asks it whether a connection exists and for the name,
+which should be the name of the current connection as defined with \fBconnect_route.\fIname\fR.
+No matter how masqmail detects the online status,
+only messages that are accepted at online time will be delivered using the connection.
+The spool still has to be emptied with masqmail \fB\-qo\fIconnection\fR.
+.TP
+\fBonline_file = \fIfile\fR
+This is the name of the file checked for when masqmail determines whether it is online.
+The file should only exist when there is currently a connection.
+Create it in your ip-up script with e.g.
+echo \-n <name> > /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+chmod 0644 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+Do not forget to delete it in your ip-down script.
+.TP
+\fBonline_pipe = \fIfile\fR
+This is the name of the executable which will be called to determine the online status.
+This executable should just print the name of the current connection to
+the standard output and return a zero status code.
+masqmail assumes it is offline if the script returns with a non zero status.
+Simple example:
+#!/bin/sh
+[ \-e /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route ] || exit 1
+cat /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+exit 0
+Of course, instead of the example above you could as well use \fBfile\fR as
+the online detection method, but you can do something more sophisticated.
+.TP
+\fBmserver_iface = \fIinterface\fR
+The interface the masqdialer server is listening to.
+Usually this will be "localhost:224" if mserver is running on the same host as masqmail.
+But using this option, you can also let masqmail run on another host by setting
+\fBmserver_iface\fR to another hostname, e.g. "foo:224".
+.TP
+\fBget.\fIname\fR = \fIfile\fR
+Replace \fIname\fR with a name to identify a get configuration.
+Set this to a filename for the get configuration.
+These files will be used to retrieve mail when called with the \-g option.
+.TP
+\fBonline_gets.\fIname\fR = \fIlist\fR
+Replace \fIname\fR with a name to identify an online configuration.
+Set this to a filename (or a list of filenames) for the get configuration.
+These files will be used to retrieve mail when called with the \-go option.
+.TP
+\fBident_trusted_nets = \fIlist\fR
+\fIlist\fR is a list of networks of the form a.b.c.d/e (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24),
+from which the ident given by the ident protocol will be trusted,
+so a user can delete his mail from the queue if the ident is identical to his login name.
+.TP
+\fBerrmsg_file = \fIfile\fR
+Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery failure reports.
+Variable parts within the template begin with a dollar sign and are identical
+to those which can be used as arguments for the mda command, see \fBmda\fR above.
+Additional information can be included with @failed_rcpts, @msg_headers and @msg_body,
+these must be at the beginning of a line and will be replaced with the list of the failed recipients,
+the message headers and the message body of the failed message.
+Default is /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl.
+.TP
+\fBwarnmsg_file = \fIfile\fR
+Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery warning reports.
+It uses the same mechanisms for variables as \fBerrmsg_file\fR, see above.
+Default is /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/warnmsg.tpl.
+.TP
+\fBwarn_intervals\fR = \fIlist\fR
+Set this to a list of time intervals, at which delivery warnings
+(starting with the receiving time of the message) shall be generated.
+A warning will only be generated just after an attempt to deliver the mail
+and if that attempt failed temporarily.
+So a warning may be generated after a longer time, if there was no attempt before.
+Default is "1h;4h;8h;1d;2d;3d"
+.TP
+\fBmax_defer_time\fR = \fItime\fR
+This is the maximum time, in which a temporarily failed mail will be kept in the spool.
+When this time is exceeded, it will be handled as a delivery failure,
+and the message will be bounced.
+The excedence of this time will only be noticed if the message was actually tried to be delivered.
+If, for example, the message can only be delivered when online,
+but you have not been online for that time, no bounce will be generated.
+Default is 4d (4 days)
+.TP
+\fBlog_user = \fIname\fR
+Replace \fIname\fR with a valid local or remote mail address.
+If this option is set, then a copy of every mail,
+that passes through the masqmail system will also be sent to the given mail address.
+For example you can feed your mails into a program like hypermail
+for archiving purpose by placing an appropriate pipe command in masqmail.alias
